I needed a special treat for my rating number 5500 - so I picked this. A hazy dark red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy, flowery, and grassy with some reminicence of grapefruit, but also hints of caramel. The flavor is sweet with a malty slightly toffeish background, which is very fast overpowered by the hops, which at first are grassy and grapefruity, but also quite quickly turn wild with loads of bitterness drying out the mouth and leaving You with a bitter grapefruity flavor that lingers for a long time. Good, but on my tastebuds maybe just over the rim, which I think in part is due to the single variety used - mix in some Cascade.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, dark amber with a small, creamy head. But it’s the aroma, that really makes this beer stand out. Wauw, a fantastic aroma of peach, apricot and perhaps also a citrusy touch. The body is not overly full considering the alcohol. Lightly sweet flavours of caramel malt, but it’s the fantastic Chinook hops that completely dominate this brew and also leave a considerable bitterness. 011205

Aroma is hoppy, with citruis and caramel coming off the malts. Taste is similar and very drinkable with a good dry finish that begs you for more.

Bottle thanks to BierKönig: Clear copper orange color with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Aroma isn’t as assertive as the Simcoe or Amarillo versions and has some earthy grassy character with mild orange citrus notes and caramel malt. Body starts with nice earthy malty sweetness balanced with a grapefruity citrusy bitter hoppy presence. A good IPA.

Cloudy deep amber with a foamy tan head. Malty, toffee sweet aroma with a hoppy pineapple fruityness. Hoppy dry flavor, light citric fruityness.
